Site Slowdown?
« on: April 18, 2007, 09:13:27 PM »
Am I the only one experiencing a major slowdown in the response time on the site? If not, is this related to increase useage?

Seems like when I post a reply, it takes a few seconds for it to go through. Probably has to do with the number of people on the board posting at any given time.

I believe this is related to increased usage, yes.  At the very least, the load on the server's been showing as higher than usual over the last few days.

Okey Dokey. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't having some kind of personal computer glitch. Thanks.  ;)

Fred, whatever you have done has certainly worked. The response time on the board is like lightening! You click, you blink, you're there! Thanks.   ;)

It's on completely new hardware, now -- I migrated the site to bluehost.com.
